Question 257007: samantha has a total of one hundred forty-one pennies, nickels and quarter. She has a total of $15.17. She has fifteen more quarters than pennies and fifteen fewer quarters than nickels. How many of each coin does she have?. Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! We are dealing with pennies nickels and quarters. So we need at least three equations
p+n+q=141
5n+p+25q=1517
q=p+15
q=n-15
n=62 p=32 q=47
We only needed three equations.
I did it with just the first three equations and got those answers.
I did it with all four equations and got the same answers.
